democrats propose the "chavez option"
Published June 18, 2008Views: 91
I have, on occasion, found myself defending democrats against famly members who have claimed they are socialists. There is a difference, I would claim, between liberals and socialists.
But, first there was socialized medicine.
And now this: The demcorats have begun to come out and openly call for the nationalization of the oil industry.
I guess I was wrong.
First Mxaine Waters called for it during the oil executive hearings. Now more of them are openly admitting they want to impose Marxist ideas on us.
Now her insanity has spread to other democrats:

"House Democrats responded to President's Bush's call for Congress to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling. This was at an on-camera press conference fed back live.Among other things, the Democrats called for the government to own refineries so it could better control the flow of the oil supply."
The fact that this has never worked, of course, will not deter them in the slightest. It isn't about whether or not it works. It's about power.

A solution for me would be to move closer to work, but with the housing market tanking, it's not a very good time to sell or downsize as retirement looms. And, with dramatically-rising prices, I have to keep working. Retirement, as a dream, keeps receding from sight. So, probably like millions of others, I'm stuck.
As for this blog in general, there have always been lots of wild ideas floating in Congress & from those who are supposed to be "leading" this nation and "representing" US. From my perspective, LOTS of talk & NO action. I've been voting against incumbents for years.
